Texas Climate Report: January 2004
2004 began with a warmer, wetter January than average for the state of Texas. All 19 first order stations reported mean temperatures above normal, and only El Paso had below average precipitation for the month. Abilene (170%), Dallas/Fort Worth (160%), Houston (163%), Lubbock (380%), San Angelo (169%) and Waco (214%) were all well above the average amount of precipitation. A frontal system passed over the state on the 15th-18th and brought copious amounts of rain to several stations. 24-hour precipitation amounts include over an inch in Abilene, Austin, College Station, Corpus Christi, Galveston, Houston, Lubbock, and San Angelo; over 2 inches in Dallas/Fort Worth and Port Arthur; and over 3 inches in Waco. On the 17th there were also five reports of hail over 1.00" in diameter in East Texas in Montgomery and Madison counties.
Temperatures also took a roller coaster ride for the month with record highs and lows set throughout the month. Record highs were set in several stations the first week of January before an arctic air mass brought freezing temperatures to much of the state. An additional front at the end of the month brought colder temperatures to most of the state as well as more precipitation in the Eastern and Upper Coastal regions. College Station, Houston, Galveston, and Port Arthur all received over 1.50" of rain from this system. The month of January concluded with below average temperatures for most of the state.
